Fred Thompson, a bit of a jerk?

I found this from another blog but felt like it might be interesting to post in my own, and to try out embedding video.

Here we see Senate candidate Fred Thompson in a debate acting a little less than polite.

Teens reformat computers to varying success

29, August 2007

Two teens in Rock Hill, South Carolina reformatted their computer's last night in what they said was a "reformat party".

The teens, Jeff Patterson, a student at Winthrop University, and Jared Phillips, a college drop out, were both having difficulty with their computers when they decided to reformat their computers together.

"Reformatting is pretty dull," Jeff said, "but we had to do it, so we figured why not go to one location and reformat together?"

Jared brought his computer to Jeff's house after Jeff got his mom's permission, popped in their windows disks, and sat back and relaxed relaxed.

Jared got off to a quick start since he has a Core Two Duo Processor, and 2 gigs of RAM, so he was able to reformat and install windows faster than Jeff.

However, he did not have his original Windows disc, so he came upon problems when his original CD Key didn't work with Jeff's XP disc from 2001.

Jeff on the other hand, with his AMD 3400+ 64bit processor and 1 gig of RAM, slowly but steadily was able to reformat and install windows with no hitches.

In the end, Jared was angry, gave up and went to bed, while Jeff enjoyed World in Conflict until the wee hours in the morning.
